According to Dexerto, the animated movie 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' has been banned in the United Arab Emirates and several other Middle Eastern countries due to the brief appearance of a transgender flag.
'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' has been performing exceptionally well at the box office and is widely regarded as one of the best movies in the series. Since its release, fans have been engaged in discussions about various plot points, details, and characters in the film.
In a particular scene, Gwen Stacy's struggles with her identity and the conflicts with her father in her own universe are highlighted. In this sequence, a flag advocating for the protection of transgender children can be seen hanging in Gwen's room, sparking a widespread discussion.
This is the reason behind the ban of this film in countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. They believe that the movie promotes homosexuality and contains explicit imagery, which they consider a violation of their national laws.
